I WILL TAKE IT TO WOLVERHAMPTON RECORED FAIR THIS SATURDAY AND WILL OF COURSE BE AT MICK SMITHS STALL IF YOU WANT TO HERE IT, ITS FAR BETTER THAN THE JIMMY CLIFF RECORDING COULD JUST BE A REFRESHING SLEAPER ..DAVE KIL

FURTHER TO MY THOUGHTS ON SIMON S AND THE BB & ITZY LABLE I THINK THEY WERE PRESSED IN LA. OR WAS IT CANADA? NO LA I AM SURE I THINK YES LA HAS IT ..DAVE KIL

I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH YOU PETE, FURTHER TO THE POINT ALL THE CDs THAT I OWN WERE GIVEN TO ME HOWEVER I DID BUY20+ FROM JOHN & MALCOMS SHOP IN WILLINHALL YEARS AGO, I FEEL THE SAME ABOUT TODAYS DJs WHO HAVE A BOX OF RARE RECORDS AND GET TO DJ AT TOP VENUES? ASK MOST OF THEM HOW BIG IS YOUR RECORD COLLECTION AND THE BOX IS THE COLLECTION. MEANWHILE THE TRUE BLACK MUSIC FAN WHO TAKES PRIDE IN THERE COLLECTIONS AND HAVE TUNES THAT MAYBE NOT SO RARE IN MONEY TERMS ARE OUT OF THE RELMS OF THESE DJs WHO BUY THERE WAY IN THATS WHY I WANT TO GO BACK TO BASICS LIKE AT THE START OF THE 100 CLUB AND DO AN ECLECTIC MUSIC NIGHT OF RARE BLACK STUFF I DONT CARE IF I PLAY TO A EMPTY ROOM OR TO 100 AS LONG AS THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS SOUL ...DAVE KIL PS: MICK DISCOVERED JACK MONTGOMERY IN 71 AND WE USED TO PLAY IT IN THE DIVE BAR THROUGH 72 AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY HE TOOK IT TO THE MECCA WERE IT GOT SPUN BY TONY JEBB..I WISH I COULD SAY I DISCOVERED THIS?

I REMEMBER THE NIGHT MICK S GOT HIS FROM DAVE W NOT REALISING IT WAS ONE OF MICKS ALL TIME WANTS HE PROBERLY WOULD OF PAID DOUBLE THE PRICE HE GOT IT FOR BUT THAT THERE STUFF BOTH WERE HAPPY...DAVE KIL

cHECK OUT THE OHIO PLAYERS CUT? A LOT CHEAPER BUT SOUND BETTER THAN THIS VERSION IN 09..dave kil

Tracks to your mind Sounds of the lane was a boot on ITZY, ASs my first copy cost £1.25 from contempo Hanaway street Te West End, December 72 on of corse Cobblestone, The Showman on BB is so close to the ITZY lable its spooky! in some way they are Boots by the main man Simon S however he has got the gift of the gab and as such todays youngsters to me thats 53 and under broberly never met him? although great homage is given to DAVE GODIN for renaming RARE SOUL NORTHERN SOUL and poeple praised him for his COLUM which Dave used to call his nob, GAY.no not Dave, Simon S gave us the sounds to stay up Allnite for, along with Alan Day Tony Gebb Pep Kieth M Richard S Mick S Big Clive Pete Wid Ady baby and a few more the scene would not have lasted as long, why dont someone put out a top 100 of simon dicoveries and you will see what I mean notice I left Ian out but he had the dosh at a time I did not so he could spend shedloads on bulk buying while i was still sticking records up me jumper at MOORES shops...DAVE KIL

I know you no what i mean?..However this is a true story first hand not a a tale from somene who new someone who paid ect. by the way that this posting has created so little interest i asume that to many chemicals are a foot if you get my drift..I informed me old mucker Mick S and told him to put one on his Ebay site he thinks i am telling porkies? how dare he! he recently sold a Edwin Starr Demo of Agent Double o Soul for over £200 on green & white TM. so I refer back to the question WHAT THE F**K is going on WHAT?...DAVE KIL

OFF CORSE THATS WHY I GAVE NO REAL VALUE TO IT, BUT SAYING THAT ITS WORTH PICKING UP FOR £5 AS IT IS A EARLYISH BOOT, AND FOR SOME STRANGE REASON I LIKE THE EARLY BOOTS FROM WIGAN 73/4 I AMTHAT SAD AS COLLECTOR IHAVE A BOX FULL OF THEM CANTABURY,SOUL TOWN ECT..I REMENBER BYING THE SWEETS ON SOULTOWN IN 73 AND IT WAS NOT TILL 75 I REALISED IT WAS AN ORIGANAL BOUGHT AS A BOOT FOR 30 NEW PENCE.WIGAN THEY WERE THE DAYS FORGET THE TORCH & BLACKPOOL MECCA, WIGAN STOMPED ALL NIGHT..DAVE KIL

THIS IS A GOOD ONE AS I HAVE ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE JUST THE WAY THE LABLE WAS PRINTED?..YOU CAN NOTICE THIS BY LOOKING AT SOME RECORD LABLES SAY ON PAMA UK REGGAE LABLES SUCH AS GAS, CAMMEL, AND NU BEAT / NEWBEAT WHERE THAY HAD DIFFERANT FADES, SHADES AND I N THE NU BEAT CASE WHERE THEY CHANGED THE LABLE TO RED AND CALLED IT NEWBEAT HOWEVER AFTER 8/9 RELEASES FOR SOME REASON REVERTED BACK TO OLD DESIGN FOR 2 RELEASES THEN BACK TO THE NEW DESIGN. I AM SURE WE WILL FIND OUT BUT I DONT THINK IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH EAST/WEST COAST PRESSING AS THAT COULD BE EASY IDENTIFIED BY LOOKING AT MATRIX OR PLASTIC / STYREEN 9I have spelt that wrong I think)?. ON A SIMMULAR THREAD WHY HAVE TANGERINE RECORDS ALL GOT A GOLD SPOT ON THEM WITH A FEW EXEMPTIONS? I HAVE ALWAYS LOOKED AT IT IN THE SAME WAY US RECORDS HAVE DRILL HOLES IN THEM WHICH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH TAX OR RETURNS POLICY HOWEVER I THINK THERE MAY BE ANOUTHER REASON?,...DAVE KIL

I TOTALY AGREE WHAT!"*! BUT I NO WHAT BUT WHAT ABOUT WHY & HOW AND AND? GIVE US A CLUE? IF IT WAS JOHNY TAYLOR AND CAN SEE WHY DERECK MARTIN OR LIDDA LYNDEL YEP ALL THE WAY IN 09....DAVE KIL

TODAY I WAS TOLD BY A CLOSE FRIEND AND DJ THAT HE PAID £50.00 FOR SAM & DAVE SOOTHE ME LAST NITE ON BLE STAX??? I THOUGHT WHY OH WHY OH SPELT YO YO CAN SOMEONE OUT THERE EXPLAIN WHY THIS RECORED IS SO POPULAR DONT GET ME WRONG ITS FINE SOUL ONE OF THE BEST AND A RECORED IS WORTH WHAT YOU ARE PREPAIRED TO PAY...BUT YO YO....DAVE KIL

I GOT TO BE HONEST I DONT REALY KNOW THE CURRENT PRICES OF US STUFF EVAN THOUGH I USED TO SELL US STUFF IN THE 7s_9ts ALL I CAN SAY I GOT MY FIRST US SWAN COPY OF BOTH TITLES FROM CONTEMPO RECORDS HANAWAY STREET LONDON FOR 50NP,s EARLY 71 ALSO ITS AROUND THAT TIME THE BLACK AND GREEN WAS REISSUED SO IN MY WORLD ITS JUST WORTH A FEW£££ HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE IN THE PAST GOT RECORDS FROM ME ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY 9ts YOU ARE NOW SITTING ON RARE RECORDS TODAY I SOLD 8 COPIES OF SAM DEES LONELY FOR YOU BABY AT £12 OR THE RINGLEADERS TO FATHER TED ON MPAC £6 AND MANY MANY MORE HOWEVER ITS 2009 AND WHAT WAS COMON THEN IS RARE NOW AND VISA VERSA? THERES ALSO THE BB LABLE? WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE ALL WORTH , THATS WHY I STARTED TO COLLECT MAINLY UK RECORDS AS I HAVE SINCE I FIRST WENT UP NORTH TO THE WHEEL AND TO THE PRESENT DAY HAVE A VERY DECENT COLLECTION, AND TO PUT VALUE ON THINGS IS NOT WORTH THE HUSTLE YOU ALWAYS WANT MORE AND THE DEALERS ARE ALWAYS THERE WITH THE NEXT MUST HAVE SOUND I AM GETTING OF THE PIONT I KNOW HOW MUCH MY RECORDS ARE WORTH IF A SOUND GIVES YOU A BUZZ AND ITS GOT SOUL AND YOU KNOW THAT IT IS ONE THAT ONCE SOLD YOU KNOW TO GET IT BACK WILL COST YOU MORE IN THE FUTURE THEN KEEP IT OR TRADE IT FOR A MORE RARER RECORD, I WILL TAKE MY RECORDS TO THE END THEN ITS DOWN TO THE TROUBLE AND STRIFE TO GET RID OF THEM. SOZ FOR POOR GRAMMAR I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET THE SPELL CHECK WORKING EVERY TIME I CLICK ON IT A BOMB GOES OF WHY? CAN YOU TELL I HAVE BEEN UP ALLNITE MANY THANKS DAVE KIL

Hi £20+, DEMO£50 Red & yellow lable issue £35+ and skelington A demo double it these prices are a guide i have seen the black & green go for £50 by the way Take it Baby goes for £50+ if you can find one in mint condition and the Demo as I have not got one cant say what its worth DAVE KIL

Hi 1st of you dont tell a major dealer the title of the recored you want to cover up? if he does not know it or gets on his mobile to get you to play it to anouther top man say John Anderson if you get the thumbs up you got a winner, however it is unlikely that you have found a new sound these days if its a UK release the chances are even more remote for 6ts soul only about 20+ new sounds have been rediscovered since 1990 and most have been Jamacan artists Glen Miller the best? as for US I have a few sounds that nobody seems to know about. If you are a DJ just put a beer mat over it do not stick a lable on it, call it what you want. Best of Luck DAVE KIL

THE DEX USED AT WIGAN CAME FROM SK&F WELYN GARDEN CITY, OR ONE OF MANY OUTLETS THAT STOCKED THEM, ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER CLOSEING TIME AND WITH THE HELP OF A CROW BAR AND A GOOD MATE TO KEEP LOOK OUT FOR UNSOULFUL TYPES DAVE KIL

AND I HAVE TO ENDURE THEM WHILE I HAVE A EXTENSIVE RARE SOUL COLLECTION TO PLAY AT HOME TO MYSELF DONT YOU FEEL ANY PITY I THOUT IT WAS WORTH A GO KEEP THE FAITH GAVE KIL

I remember visiting Tony Jebbs home in Blackpool in late 74 with Mick smith and Big Clive and of course we went to the Mecca Tony recieved a great reception from the bros and sisters that were there who all wanted Tony to spin a few sounds for old times sake however he was not allowed to by the top DJ, when it was closeing we headed of to Wigan Casino once again Tony was cheered and got a round of aplause by all as he had no records with him a small set was put together and he played his spot, for some reason I had 10 round card circle badges on me dont even ask why and I wrote on them Lavine is shit as you may recall i used to sell records oin the bar with others Pete Wid Ady Mick CAN ANY ONE REMEMBER THAT NIGHT? and was it realy me who started the lavine is shit thing? I dont know, maybe DAVE KIL BY THE WAY AS WE ALL KNOW iAN IS A GREAT BLOKE
